Many of those who fled Spain, especially among the Sephardic (Spanish Jewish) community, were highly educated and wealthy. Many
fled to the Ottoman Empire. How do you think the influx of these refugees affected the Ottoman Empire? Do you think they welcomed the newcomers? Why or why not?
The Ottoman Empire didn't welcome the newcomers, but it was certainly a much better place for these Jews to live than Spain or Portugal. The Ottoman Empire didn't welcome the newcomers beause they had an opposing Muslim religion previously. I apologize this isn't the complete answer, as I do not know much on this topic
